The Saint Luke’s Mission is a New Monastic Community rooted in the North End of Hamilton, Ontario.

Together we follow the flight of the desert mothers and fathers of ancient Christian Monasticism to integrate their contemplative practices and study their faith in Jesus Christ that through their example we might know the love of God and share it with our neighbours.

The Saint Luke’s Mission is one spiritual community. We practice a rule of life by participating in one of three integrate spheres of belonging.

Each avowed sphere is an annual commitment and should be thought of as a map to navigate the classical waypoints that make up the spiritual life: wakening, purgation, illumination, and union.

The path from awakening to union is often a non-linear journey. Our spheres of belonging honour this reality and allow us to travel together, though we are diverse in experience and belief.

Our rule consists of the four following pairs:

  • Prayer and Devotion
  • Learning and Reconciliation
  • Service and Hospitality
  • Purpose and Peace
The Saint Luke’s Mission gathers on Sundays at 8:30am.
The Community of Common Prayer gathers on Tuesdays at 6:30-7am, Wednesdays at 7:30-8pm, and Thursdays at 6:30-7am
The Saint Luke’s Mission is part of the Anglican Diocese of Niagara and the network of the Society of the Holy Trinity.
